There are plenty of economic justifications for piracy, but the simple fact is that intellectual property isn’t actually property. Property requires a characteristic known as “scarcity,” which means that its use is rivalrous - no two people can make full use of the good simultaneous. With something like an apple, car,…

Oh, so Kobayashi Yuu is taking over the artwork?

I call my brother a crazy cat lady all the time, it doesn’t have to be a gender thing.

Yeah... no. That’s a feminist historical revision popularized by Gloria Steinem. The original heart symbol had a single lobe and looked more like a real heart. The modern dual-lobed symbol emerged in the late medieval period, first in sacred art, then in secular.

I like how they can’t find anything wrong with Minecraft’s depiction of lapis lazuli.

I was in tears when I started watching it yesterday. So glad Gintama’s back.

I disagree with his theory on the…

Sounds like your solution relies on people. I'm pretty sure that's a feature of all economic models, which by definition center on human action.

I think you're a little confused on definitions. Capitalism requires strong property rights and adherence to contracts. Mercantilism is a state-based economic model that requires protectionist regulations such as high tariffs, trade wars (including piracy), and export bans. It's based on the theory that profit is…

Really? I'm Jewish, and I don't find it that offensive.
